just cracked my oilpan last night

where can i buy one and is it hard to change out

help!


this is wat i get for being too low

 

need parts asap!!!

 

Are you a little higher now or is it still low? haha

 

Junk yard?

 

How bad is the crack? Maybe you can JB Weld it temporarily until you can get a new oil pan?

 

i can see the crack but i see oil dripping and i feel scratches on the pan

i rather buy a new oil pan and put it in than go through the trouble of looking for a used one

 

checked the oil level with the dipstick no oil

-_-

 

order a new one at the dealership if possible

 

hmm not a bad idea hope they dont rip me a new one

hopefully they are open on memorial day..

 

Order it online, but with shipping it might be better to just get it from the dealer.

 

If its hard to find new pan fast---- I have used and still use JBweld or the other new putty that comes in a stick and you combine its colors- then apply- holds like steel
I have used both to repair cracked engine blocks,broken bolts, and many things in an emergency

 

JB is good for a temporary fix

 

# 2
part number 11200-PGE-A00
price 73.75

 

jb WELD, temporary?? tell that to my chevy!! - been holding a few parts of it together for several years! its epoxy
I tried 1 brand of the ~new~ putty that is 2 part epoxy- you blend the 2 colors together until 1, and apply to anything--another brand is seen on tv
The grey stuff from harbor freight is what I have, and it will fix leaks in pressurized running water pipe to house, with just some tape over it for a day as it fully cures, that will certainly make a ~stronger than the oil pan~ repair to it. I have done much worse things to race cars at endurance races and they dont break~ well , the repair doesnt~

 

anybody know what it requires timewise to drop the pan?
On other FWD drives its a bit of work- never looked at my tl thinking about it!
send a PM to fsttyms1 or texashonda- I assume TH works at a dealer, based on his specific and extensive knowledge of acura

 

thanks for the part number rajca

which store sells jb weld?

 

^ Just about any parts store known to man. Even Walmart, Home Depot, OSH, etc.

 

alrighty jb weld it is!

 

I would use the newer product- a 2 part epoxy PUTTY, you can find at most hardware stores next to the jb weld
Reasoning is jb weld is a liquidy material 2 part epoxy, while the putty is going to be an easier material to make a patch and place against crack in pan, or hole or whatever damage

Clean area with carb spray to remove oil- then blend putty 1 minute to activate and apply per directions - use tape to hold in place if needed- sets up in 5 minutes- fully cured for all uses in 24 hours or less

 

practice on spare bolts in the garage to get the timing from mix to set down before attempting the actual repair...mix a very small (1/2") piece then glue 2 bolts together as test

 

I can look in Joe's turbo thread and find out b/c I know he dropped his to tap an oil feed line into it. I don't think it takes that long if you have all the tools and know what you're doing.

 

Small update

Lifted the car and saw a hairline crack so i guess the jb weld should hold a a crack that small
The guys at pepboys prefereed it over the putty

anywho hope this all goes well..

 

that doesnt look that bad. just make sure u lift your car a bit of drive more carefully bc ur gonna crack it again.

 

According to my 3G manual, you have to remove the J-pipe, the torque converter cover and 2 bolts that secure the transmission, then all the bolts around the oil pan. Make sure you drain it first. There should be almost no difference between the 3g and 2g for this procedure.

 

I used quick steel on a crack on my oil pan. It was much a much worse crack then yours and held up great for over a year. Being paranoid I had immediately purchased a new oil pan after the crack happened and had that put on a couple of months ago. They gave me my old pan and the crack had not gotten larger at all. It still looked like the day I put it on. You should be fine with JB Weld or quick steel whichever you chose to go with.

 

I would use it as a temp fix till you get a new one. If you hit the ground again it will tear that stuff off. Its strong stuff though. I used it to fix a muffler where the seam had split all the way down the side and was louder than a harley. It lasted quite a while.

Removal of the oil pan requires what The Dougler posted.

 

I did that when I purchased mine. It is not too bad of price. If you feel extra thrifty, you can recycle your old one!

 

RockAuto.com should have them in stock... call and check... also check ebay and other online places. For the small crack that you have, I would just JB Weld that... they also make an epoxy that you can place around the entire oil tank if needed. yo, man...lift that car, your ride is clean as hell on the ground, but damn....

 

alritey i let it cure for 24 hours

just poured in oil n ran it in the neigborhood n seems fine

acura dealership wants 120 for the pan but i found another local place that sells for 90

wonder if the gasket is included with the pan price

 

 

Use this site for the pan,

http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...catdisplay.jsp

stop by your local honda parts dept and ask for hondabond for your gasket.

 

get a skid plate so it doesn't happen again

 

I like that idea! weld a magnesium plate on the bottem of the oil pan!-
well, at least use the leftover JBweld to attach it~

Kris is right- you hit that spot again and there could be a real problem
My thinking is so often based on race track repairs, good enough for the weekend and replace damaged part at the shop

 

found a good deal on ebay

85 + 10 for shipping from dch acura dealership

its a good package, has the oilpan, gasket, new drain bolt, washer, and acura flange II sealant

buy now ALL MINE!!

+1 honda bond is good chet!

 

would a skid plate help with impact? I've bottomed out a couple times but I haven't damaged anything that I can tell.

 

When I was in lubbock for college, the freakin honda dealership was out of it. So, I took a spin not to NAPA for gorilla snot. No, I drove to the motorcycle/atv dealership ang got me some HONDAbond HT. Best stuff, man.

 

Nothing better than Hondabond
(i actually saw it at the nissan dealer on one of the techs carts when i brought my moms altima in for warranty work.

 

I'm surprised they didn't put tape around the outside so you couldn't tell what it was.

 

they (nissan) actually has a good sealant that many use to reseal headlights back together.
